Heart of blood and roses There were no rumors
My heart was still racing inside my chest. I did not know why maybe because Alpha Orion admitted he would never accept a wolfless girl as his Luna or maybe because it was the first time I talked back without looking at the floor...to an Alpha. Inhaling a sharp breath I stopped to think about what I was doing here. It was clear I would never become a part of this pack...no one wanted me here. But what else was I supposed to do? Run away from this place? I shook away the thought...it would not work. I had to use my head...this was just a game for Alpha. If I ran away he would find me and probably make my life more miserable or maybe he would do something to make things more difficult for Eleanor and the King. I could not do this...they did not deserve more trouble in their lives especially because of me.Even though I hated everything about this place...I could not ignore Alpha Orion was powerful. The news about him taking over packs was spreading everywhere like a fire. There was

**I was alone. The darkness hugged everything around me like a warm blanket. I knew there was no one here. Only the sound of my raspy breaths echoed in the darkness, I had no clue about where I was. Beads of sweat started rolling down my neck. I gulped and threw my arms around to feel my surroundings, I felt a rough surface underneath my fingertips. I kept on following it. I was in a room. Still keeping my hands on the wall I let it guide me to what I hoped was a door. I licked my dry lips, to provide some moisture to them. I gulped and did not make a sound. What if the wrong person heard my sound? The fear was making me move like a mouse in that dark room. I was already scared and the thought that someone else could be present in the room was not providing any comfort to me. I had to use my head if I wanted to survive. The room was not big just after six steps I could feel another wall. I started following it immediately, trying to find the door. But luck was not on m

Dreams.They were not meaningless, we just had to find the hidden meaning behind them, that's what my mother used to say. My mother had given up hope of ever having children but then she started seeing a baby in her dreams. It was a hope she needed, she was sure she would have a child and then I came into the picture. She used to call me her miracle baby...I wanted to laugh at it now. But unlike her dreams, my dreams were not happy. They were not filled with rainbows and butterflies they were filled with dead people and blood. A sigh escaped from my lips, I could not get the nightmare out of my head. Whenever I closed my eyes, I could still see the dead bodies lying on the ground...those children. "Are you okay?" Bernadette was staring at me with a worried look. I gave her a smile, "I am fine.""Are you sure? You look...tired?."I observed her, she was sitting in front of me wearing sweatpants and a tank top with popcorn between her arms. She was taking a break from her duties,

The ticking sound of the clock filled the emptiness of my room. It was mocking me..it was mocking my inability to leave the place.I still had no idea about the red moon or what Alpha Orion was planning. For some reason, my mind went straight to one person...Flora. The girl I found near the river, I did not know why but there was something about her that made me want to spill everything to her...all the things I could never imagine telling a soul. Those were her words that gave me the strength to talk to Alpha Orion for the first time. It was her because of whom I was able to speak in front of Alpha Orion. I could not leave the mansion but it did not mean I had to stay in the room. With all the thoughts inside my head, I started walking aimlessly out of the room. The walls, the hallways everything was a reminder that I did not belong there. People were not bothered by my presence anymore, at first they were curious...but with time I became someone who just lived in the mansi

Time was running out. Red moon was approaching fast....just two months and I had no idea about it. I knew nothing about the stories except for the one told by Bernadette. The story she told me...had many flaws. Werewolves were not weak, they could defend themselves. A pack no matter how peaceful they were... could have protected themselves. Someone should have survived. I glanced at the clock...it was 10 am. I had to wait for another hour. I knew Bernadette's routine by heart...she would leave in almost an hour for the pack visit. The more days I spent in the pack..the better I understood why this pack was strong and working so smoothly. Everything was planned.......planned by Alpha Orion. He had his eyes and ears everywhere. He had given the duty of keeping an eye on me to Bernadette, they both were sure I would not leave the mansion without asking the Alpha. Especially after what happened yesterday...I knew Alpha was looking at me, he was checking if I would leave the mansio
Last Updated : 2022-12-10Heart of blood and roses Awkward silence
The tension in the dining room was thick enough to be cut with a knife easily. Everyone could sense it. It was the first time I was having dinner in the dining room with everyone else. Alpha Orion was sitting at the chair which clearly belonged to him at the corner, on the other end, Luca was sitting. They both seemed to be busy in their glaring battle.Bernadette had asked me to have my meals here but I always refused knowing well it was not my place.I was sitting on the left side of Alpha Orion while on his right Bernadette was sitting, who kept passing me comfortable smiles in between. Next to me was Chelsea. No one was saying a word as the dinner was being served. Everyone could sense the weirdness in the air. I wanted to ask Luca so many questions but I could not do that in front of everyone."How have you been, Ruhee?" Luca initiated the conversation by breaking the awkward silence which I did not know was a good idea as all the eyes were now on me, waiting for the answer.

"You do not have to pretend anymore, Luca is not here. You can stop the car and I will walk back to your house."We were in a car going somewhere. I did not know Alpha Orion would take this so seriously. Luca went to see the pack with Bernadette while I was sitting in a car with Alpha Orion. I was still waiting for my chance to talk to Luca alone, something which was not possible as long as Alpha was with me. He must be thinking I would tell Luca everything about us. "Why would I do anything for the King's stepbrother?" Alpha Orion's eyes were fixed on the road which was almost empty with trees on either side of the road. I kept on wondering where this road would lead us to. There were no boards or anything that could give me a hint. I had no clue if we were going out of the pack or if we were still in the pack. "You saved his life," I commented. He gave me a side look and then turned his eyes back on the road without saying anything else. "I know exactly what you are doing.""

"Alpha," a middle-aged woman wearing a floral maxi dress with a teal colored cardigan on the top came out to greet Alpha Orion. Her head was low while greeting in a soft voice as a bunch of children surrounded Alpha in no time. "How are you, Lenna?""I am fine, thank you," her head was still in the same position as she answered. Who was she?Who were these children?I watched the children of different age groups greet Alpha Orion with huge smiles on their faces. Alpha Orion seemed to be lost in his own world as well around them while I stood awkwardly watching them like a creep feeling out of place."Children, let Alpha enter the house first," the lady said softly but there was an authority in her voice. All the children at once listened to her. The toddler who hugged the Alpha did not leave his hand and started pulling him with all his strength saying something about showing him his new art."I am Lenna," the lady was now looking at me with her hands joined together in front of her

Heart of blood and roses Coven is like a tree
I froze as soon as I entered the house. "What...?"Orion stood next to me, "We need to talk to you about something."My heartbeat increased, did something bad happen? Celia was sitting with no smile on her face, next to her was Ruth with a similar expression accompanied by Oliver and Rose. "Is everything alright?" I asked Orion, "Is it about the red moon?"He shook his head, "No, everything is fine, love, just calm down and have a seat."Bernadette gave a sharp nod to Orion, "I will be outside." She was in her beta mode, something was not right.Did they know about what happened near the river? I gulped thinking about it but tried not to show the fear on my face as I sat down in front of the witches. Orion was holding my hand the entire time while his other hand was on my back rubbing circles. "The resemblance..." Celia shed a tear which she wiped quickly."What is happening here?" The silence was making me feel suffocated. "It's best if Celia starts from the beginning," Orion g
Heart of blood and roses I will not tell a soul about it
My feet kept moving, I knew where I had to stop. Orion and I were in the middle of our conversation when he said he figured something out but he had to leave before he could explain anything. We were not getting much time to talk or discuss anything, the red moon was above our heads and even though no one was showing it, we were all scared. I was breathing hard from taking two steps at once and my heart was racing but no matter how much I tried I could not shake the feeling away. A smile made its way to my lips when I saw the girl's long brown hair touching the ground as she sat on the edge of the river. "Flora.""You are late, Ruhee."I paused, her words had no emotions."Are you alright, Flora?" I sat down next to her to take a look at her face. Her skin looked pale as she stared into the distance. I followed her eyes she was staring at the other side of the forest. Everything about her was the same except there was no glow on her face, her eyes had lost their spark. I felt
Heart of blood and roses Forbidden forest
I woke up with a heavy feeling in my head, it was like I had not slept in days which would not be wrong. The nagging feeling inside my stomach was not leaving, the dream I had was too real to be a nightmare. Something was not right, it was not about the blood moon. I rubbed my head and looked at Orion's side of the bed only to find it empty. With a sigh, I picked up the note that he had left on the table, 'I had to make some preparations for the ritual, will be back soon.'The ritual.What was the ritual anyway? How could Orion trust these witches so much?I knew what I was going to do next. I quickly got ready and ran towards the place where the witches were staying. Before getting closer I put on the smile I had mastered in years. The man who came with Celia last night was sitting on the ground, he threw me a look but did not say a word and continued his work. He was carefully removing petals from a plant I had never seen before in this pack. The flowers were blood red and whit
Heart of blood and roses Prevent it from becoming reality
I did not know what I was expecting, maybe someone old, cruel-looking with wrinkly skin and evil eyes but I was not expecting the happy lady in front of me followed by a few others.A woman who appeared to be in her late thirties entered first, she was the shortest out of all but had the biggest smile. Her dark maroon, almost black dress touched the ground as she walked, she had jet-black hair pulled back tightly, and not a single hair was out of place. Her green eyes were barely open from the wide smile she had on her round face. "Oh, my dear, Orion, what a lovely welcome.""Celia, this is my Luna, Ruhee."Celia, the lady who appeared to be their leader stood in front of me."Ruhee," she repeated my name."Thank you for coming here to help us," I said in a soft voice.I highly doubted she heard my words as she almost touched my face with her hand, "You.""Mother, I think we should get some rest and start our work without wasting any time," a girl interrupted Celia before her hand co
Heart of blood and roses Welcome to our pack
"Why would you do that?" I welcomed Alpha Orion with the question as he entered the room. He did not answer and closed the door. "I am talking to you," I repeated, not letting my eyes wander from his face. He did not reply once again and put the phone on the table. I got out of the bed and stood in front of him blocking his path with my hands crossed over my chest. "Alpha Orion, care to explain why you announced about us in front of the entire pack?" My voice was still not loud, I wanted answers but it did not mean I had to be loud. "I did the right thing, princess." He started searching for something. I held his arm with my hand firmly which was surprisingly new for me as well and the action was unusual for him too based on the look on his face. "I think I deserve some answers." He licked his lips and guided me to sit on the bed. "I am fine," I was getting annoyed by his actions. "I was not telling anyone the truth because of your safety, people of this pack had accepted C
Heart of blood and roses I was not a good friend
There was a loud growl that made the ground beneath my feet shake as I tried to stand. I quickly moved my eyes toward the two wolves but only one of them was standing now. It was a large brown wolf, it was the darkest shade of brown I had ever seen with some streaks of black between the fur. This wolf was different as compared to the mustard-brown wolf that was on the ground...not moving at all.The brown wolf kept staring at me as though making sure I was fine. "I am okay, Orion."Orion's wolf let out a low sound. My eyes fell on the other wolf once again and I quickly looked away. Soon the sound of the cracking of bones entered my ears. After a few more minutes Alpha Orion was standing in front of me with a cold expression on his face. "I..."He did not let me say anything else and just scooped me in his arms like I weighed nothing.I gulped."I have no idea who that wolf was."Silence."I do not know why he thought I was taking their Luna's place."Once again no response.But
Heart of blood and roses Our pack
"Hey, I need to talk to you about something."Orion put his phone away and turned to give me his full attention, "I was just coming to find you, I wanted to talk to you as well."I frowned a little but nodded as a sign for him to continue."You go first.""It is fine, I know you must have something important to say about the red moon or the pack," I smiled. Orion returned the smile while shaking his head a little bit but all of a sudden his face became serious. "Witches will be in our pack soon.""What?"He nodded, "I know we don't have much time left and they have decided to help us. We need to make sure everything goes fine here. Witches could be hard to deal with, they don't like to be a part of others' issues."I inhaled a breath. Soon I found his hand on my cheek, his thumb caressing my skin very gently in a circular motion, "Hey, it's okay. I am here with you."I licked my lips and put my hand over his, "I...I had a nightmare."His face hardened and a dark look appeared in hi
Heart of blood and roses Always be mine
I sat silently gazing at the sky, birds had started chirping a melodious song but it sounded like the tone of death to me. No matter how much I tried to convince myself I could not act normally or focus on the blood moon. What if it was just the beginning and I could not stop others from dying either? "I can not protect these people," I said out loud as the reality started sinking in. My breaths started getting heavy and I started feeling uneasy. No matter how much I tried to take deep breaths, I felt like drowning in the ocean. "No," a voice entered my ears, "we are going to protect everyone together.""I want to be alone.""No, you don't. I know you lost a friend and you're mourning his death.""Murder," I said through gritted teeth, "it was a murder.""Princess," he held my wrist but I pulled my hand away from him, "I know you are hurt and angry. You have all the rights to be. I am with you, tell me what you want.""You are not with me, you have no idea what I am feeling righ
Heart of blood and roses I want to be alone
I held the stem attached to the flower tightly, luckily there were no thorns to pierce through my skin. I opened the drawer and put it with the other yellow rose, but today it was red. Orion had been leaving a flower on the table next to my bed every day with a sorry since I stopped talking to him. The blood moon was only 5 days away and we had no progress so far. A knock on the door startled me before I could respond the door burst open and Bernadette stood in front of me."What happened?" Sudden fear rose inside my chest. She kept one hand on the doorknob as she stood silently."Bernadette?" I questioned again taking a step in her direction while getting dark thoughts inside my head. "It's Arwin..."My heart stopped."What about him?" I took another step, "where is he?"She once again fell silent but this time I did not wait and tried to get past her but she held my arm."Listen to me, he's no more."I let out a humorless chuckle, "What are you saying? Have you gone insane? He
